One pleasant surprise has been the relative health and productivity of Xherdan Shaqiri. The Swiss international has been a source of frustration since arriving at the Britannia Stadium but until Week 9, he'd been both healthy and effective. Mark Hughes will hope he returns on both fronts as the Potters travel to surprise package Watford on Saturday. Fri, Oct 27, 2017 04:17:00 PM
